Slover presiding, with the following j aldermen ; \nderson Williams. Henry McCall, Peter Westberry, L-.il tj , M.J• libs hi'. u*Gv cU from Jesup and presumably an election will be called to fill the vacancy. The most important business before the council was the appointing of officers for the present year and the fixing of the salaries. Officers were appointed as stated above and the salaries of all remain the same as last year, with the exception of the Mayor, who has a raise of Slot). The question of opening the crossings over the Southern and the Atlantic Coast Line railways was taken up. The Southern has agreed ‘ ■ give : crossir ui to the cemetery. This is a much needed improvement and all will be glad to know that the Southern has .so willingly agreed to co¬ operate with the town in this matter. The matter of opening Walnut street crossing, over the track of the Atlantic Coast Line, which was tabled at the last regular meeting, again came up for action, and Col. C. C. Tindall, representing the petitioners in this matter, presented an additional petition of forty-live citizens asking that the town take action in the matter and open the cross¬ ing. tie stated to the council that it was not the desire of the citizens to antagonize the railroad company'in any way, and that it was their desire that the railroads and the town might work in harmony, but that a great mi j uity of the citizens wanted this particular crossing and expected their representatives, the mem¬ bers of council, to do the wish of the people. Colonel Tindall said that he felt sure that the Atlantic Coast Line would consent to put the crossing in when they were advised of the, people's requested that the additional .... petition and blither wishes, and reques ts of the citizens be forwarded to Division Superintendent W. 11, Wright, asking that the crossing be place'll as requested. This suggestion met with the approval of the council and the Clerk was instructed to forward the matter to the Superintendent , fu ‘ th( , r actiou in the matter. Mayor Slover stated that " he intended to do the right thing in the matter, without rega • to !lllv position that he held with the company, and we believe that ^ ' kijjd uf olUcer . . and ...... changing the town charter, , making , • The matter of revising .Jesup a city, was referred to the newly elected Town Attorney. This is quite an imjKirtant matter and means much to the town. Too much care can not be taken in this important matter. The Town Attorney will this year doubtless earn his salary of *100, for besides revising and changing the charter, there are various legal problems that will perhaps claim the attention of the present administration. John C. Dye has bought the L. R. Atkin still and fixtures at the temiuu-s of M>'- Atkin's rail \y*y» twelve miles from Mount Pleasant avid about the same tanee from Jesup. The still is located in the midst of 4,000 acres of round timber controlled by Mr. Dye. He will continue to run his mercantile business in Jesup. but will operate the still, putting a manager in charge. Mr. Gordon G. Joyner died of pnPum0 nia, at his home in Jesup, 2 a. m.

The now Board of Education of the Town of Jesup organized Monday evening by the election of officers as above. The mem¬ bers of the new board are T. t .Slover, Mayor of Jesup and ex officio member of the board ; W. A. Jennings, elected member at-large at the town election : F. E. Breen, elected by the Town Council; Ira M. Itaybon and Peter West berry, hold-over mem¬ bers. Previous to the organizin'; >r» of the new lioard. the old board held its last meeting and audited all bills that were presented. The new members were then sworn in. and President I . Carter ami Hr. S, F, Ellis and A. V,. Strip:..,, Co ontgoin- i miters, retired. Practically n6 business wa- transacted by either the old or new board, other than indicated above. The following resolution was introduced at the meet » of the old board, just before its adjournment, but the only a ’ ion taken upon it was to receive it as information As it refer to a matter of considerable interest to the citizens and taxpayers, .he resolution is herewith published in full: The present Board of E .cation at this, their last meeting for the year lt»o4, desire to • resent to thdir successors in office condite exist ' Mended improvements in tin management and development of the Jesup Public Schools are s ill incomplete. At th beginn: g of the present school year we introduced into the school for i‘ic first time a class of instruction in Book¬ keeping. Penmans!: ;> and Shorthand, under tl\e management of Prof. O. B. Anderson. This class has, so far, been quite success¬ ful. and we believe if continued will be of great advantage to the community. The Music class, under tin* management of Miss Florence ( lahcey.ha - also,we believe, been very successful. Both of these branches have entailed quite a considerable extra expense and so far no returns for tuition fees has been received from them, tin* res pc live teachers receiving for their salaries all of the fees collected. We therefore recommend that now as both of these departments ave proven successful and pay the teachers handsomely, that each of them be required to return to the Board of Education at least 0 per cent of the total amount collected by them for tuition fees : ninthly. That these teachers be required to keep a roll book the .* .me as the other teachers in the school, and that this roll book returned to the secretary of the Board of Education, at the er of each month, and he signed by him, deducting 20per eon' from the total of fees. We have also be n to some considerable expense in purchas¬ ing opera chairs an ; otherwise fixing up the Auditorium in the school house, and a this room is intended entirely for school purposes, we recount end that when permission is given for any entertainment not connected with the school that sc, t charge be made for the privile ge of using is same, and tliat a rent of a certain amount for each eotertainmn ut be required, as well is per¬ mission from the president of the Board of Education to use the hall for public enter ainment. We further recommend thlt as the piano used in tin music room by Miss Clanccy has cost the citizens of the town : go* XT real of money, and as it has been the custom to allow ditfe ent pm ties giving entertainments in town to use the piano, there! breaking off the veneering and otherwise damaging it; that in future this practice be discontinue*.! and no one be allowed to us the piano only for school purposes, such as entertainments givi by the pupils or at the opening or closing exercises of the scln >1. 3 .
